Vyvgart®
What is Vyvgart®?
Vyvgart® is a therapy for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who test positive for anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies. It works by decreasing the harmful IgG autoantibodies that can disrupt communication between nerves and muscles. Vyvgart® blocks the Neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), the receptor that maintains IgG levels in the blood. Reducing these antibodies helps improve muscle strength and everyday function by preventing nerve signal interruption.
